A correspondent writes that he can
get wood ashes from a sawmill for
the hauling, and has 10 haul three
miles TO his farm. He wishes TO know
II il will pay TO haul ashes so far,
and what is the manurial value Of
ashes
To the hrst question we answer, Yes,
even though you have 10 hire q team
and put the ashes on land that you
rent. The reasons for this answer will
appear in our attempt 10 answer the
second question.
We are not told whether the ashes
are made from hard wood or soft
wood We will see that the ash from
hard wood Is richer in potash and
phosphoric acid than that from soft
wood or bark.

cHICAaOs SIGNIFICANT VOTE,

The vote in Chicago yesterday was an I'M
mistakable confirmation Of the verdict of
the jury and the sentence of the Court in the
Anarchist cases. That was the paramount
issue involved. Democrats and Republicans
united in the support of Judge GARY. The
Labor party also showed its good sense by
coming out boldly against the red flag. The
6ocialistic-Anarchist ticket, with Capt.
BLACK, the attorney of the condemned men,
at its head. did not receive 5000 notes.-the
smallest poll ever cast by that party in
Chicago.
This result is IN emphatic veto of the move
ment for the pardon of the Anarchists. It
shows that Chicago is not, as has been
charged, bringing with fear under the threats
Of the bomb-throwing element. The in
domitable American spirit, that has con-
quered the West, that built and rebuilt
the big metropolis of the lakes, does not
COVER before the mutterings of the cowardly
disciples Of dynamite.
Chicago's vote means that there is no place
for Anarchy in the American system.

THB NEW CATHEDRAL.

Mr.. WILLIAM AsToR's generous subscrip-
ton Of 600 900 towards the great Episcopal
Cathedral affords another gratifying indica-
ton Of the revival of public spirit among our
millionaires. This growing appreciation Of
the nobler opportunities and higher duties Of
wealth serves in some measure as an offset to
the dangerous aggregations Of capital.
The trustees already have on hand sufi-
oient money for the purchase Of the land.
Though the total amount desired is &c.
600, 900, the outlook is very favorable. Mr..
AsroR's gift should arouse o rivalry in gener-
osity among the rich Episcopalians and other
denominations. Go and do likewise " is IN
excellent motto for the wealthy c%hurchmen.
II is proposed to push the Cathedral project
in American fashion. Then, of course, it
will succeed. It has required centuries to
erect some of the European cathedrals. A
decade ought to be ample time for Ameri-

JOE MANLEy IS GRATIFIED.
He Thinks the Republicans in New York
Fought Against Unusual Odds.
ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING WORLD

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 9.-Hon. j. H. Man.
ley. Chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee, on being interviewed last night, said:
THE general result Of the elections must be
gratifying to the Republicans. In New York
the Republicans fought against odds. For the
first time in the history of the country the
President of the United States threw the
Whole weight of his influence into q local
contest. while one of his abine officers, I'M
der the pretence of illness, was in New York
City, personally managing the campaign. A
corruption fund. never before parslleled, was
used to defraud the voters. The result leaves
New York the battle-ground for 1888.
THE result in" Massachusetts, is p~articu-
lnrly gratifying to me, because the Boston
Globe persistently claimed that q vote for
Ames was q vote for Blaine. It made the
issue and must abide the result. The re-
election of Gov. Foraker by an increased
majority will carry joy to Republicans all
over the land. The triumph in Rhode Island
remain firm in their allegiance to the Repub-
licans.
There is no wavering in any Republican
State, and the result shows that the Repub-
lican party has it in its power to carry the
country next year. Thorough organization
will bring victory"

vices, and as there are 1884 such claims, they
meet with q good deal of delay. in getting
their money. II they are in q hurry to be

money at a discount Of $2.50. The syndicate
is composed of three OF four men. and store
keepers and clerks act as agents and runners
in buying the claims.
Before the advent of Superintendent Muir
ray the claim brokerage was carried on in the
police building by patrolmen and officers Of
business, and the advance salary agent lost
his occupation in the big white building.
1t requires S212, $50 to defray the expenses
of the inspectors of election and poll clerks,
q sum that only capitalists can advance in o
lump, so that the syndicate suffers very little
from petty competition.

their books to Johnny O'Brien's clerks this
morning, most of them made q Decline for

A Fragrant Exhibition at Masonic Temple
by the horticultural Society.
The New York Horticultural Society is
holding fragrantly forth at the Masonic
Temple in Twenty-third street, where rare
chrysanthemums and interesting orchids,
with ferns and palms. are beautifully con-
spicuous. The chrysanthemums are particu-
larly noticeable, and are to be seen decked
with every shade of red, yellow and brown.
OF the 600 members of the Horticultural
Society there are thirty-fve exhibitors, the
small number being accounted for by the
fact that no one max an exhibit unless he
has something of unusual interest to display.
There are three low tables entirely covered
with cut chrysanthemums. At various points
in the hall there are banks and stands of
chrysanthemums: IN the stage they are to
be seen in profusion, their bright colors won
derfully apparent.
The exhibition will close on Friday, until
which day it will be open from 10 A. N. to 10
P. M. Mrs. Langtry's cup, offered to the ex-
hibitor who displays the best floral wedding
or reception decoration, is to be awarded this
afternoon.
